MTL - Everyone Thinks That the Fake Daughter Has Deep Problems-Chapter 16 blood and flowers
By the still water lake, the scenery is pleasant and the environment is comfortable. But it was very late at night, and the residents who loved to take a walk by the lake to enjoy the scenery had already left.
The lake water under the night seems to be stained with a layer of black ink, looking like a huge black gemstone from a distance.
A man stood by the lake, let the evening wind make his clothes rattle, the cold moonlight cast on him made his figure stand out, and also added a bit of chill to his handsome profile, making him look more amiable than usual The bright image is like two different people.
This person was naturally Xie Chu who had been discussed by Mingjiao and Tang Xiaoyu for a long time not long ago.
He stood quietly by the lake for a while, and suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked sideways in one direction.
I saw a huge black mist floating in the void in that direction at some point, and soon a man with a black long knife walked out of the black mist.
Whether it was Mingjiao or Tang Xiaoyu here, they could all recognize that this man was a superhuman criminal codenamed Wild Ghost and also known as Hunter, a well-known bounty killer.
With his appearance, the black mist quickly faded away, leaving no trace, as if it had never appeared.
Xie Chu didn't mean to be polite. He glanced at the killer and said in a slightly mocking tone, "You really deserve to be a famous killer. You killed an ordinary person so that she was still alive and kicking without any injuries."
The killer was slightly taken aback, but he was a quick-response person after all, and immediately thought that there was only one target that his employer asked him to kill recently, if that person didn't die...but how is it possible?
"She's just an ordinary person, even if she is a supernatural being, she won't be able to survive if I stab her through the heart."
Xie Chu frowned, "Are you sure?"
He thought the killer was belittling Ming Jiao as an ordinary person, so she saved her life because of an omission in his attack.
But now that I think about it, things are weird everywhere. Even if the killer doesn't care about her, she will be seriously injured and near death. How can she appear in front of others, let alone be in the mood to participate in such an unrelated event? An important banquet.
Thinking of this, Xie Chu said in a heavy tone, "I saw her appear at a banquet with my own eyes, and she seemed to be fine."
The killer felt that things were really strange. He knew better than anyone how many hands he had killed, so it was absolutely impossible for that person to be alive.
He felt a little excited from the bottom of his heart, and chuckled, "There are two possibilities, either she can come back to life, or someone pretends to be her."
Xie Chu's face turned ice-cold. He thought the former possibility was nothing but nonsense. Even a person with a powerful self-healing ability might not be able to live if his heart was pierced, let alone revive from the dead.
But the second possibility is also bizarre. Even though he didn't have direct contact with Ming Jiao tonight, he could tell that she was her. The appearance, voice, demeanor, and habitual small movements are all exactly the same.
After all, having grown up together, he still has the ability to discern Mingjiao.
But he was in no hurry to refute.
The killer is not a fan of mystification, at least not in front of his employer, and he quickly added, "The night I shot the target, I ran into an old friend, and she should have found out that it was me. Since she didn't chase me in time , it means that she has discovered the target I attacked and killed."
He smiled meaningfully, "I think she is pretending to be a dead person."
Xie Chu, "Who is that person?"
"nightingale."
Information about this supernatural person instantly appeared in Xie Chu's mind, "People from the Asuka Guild."
"You have a grievance with her." He said this, but he didn't care about the specific grievances between the killer and Nightingale. He just said, "As far as I know, she is not a shapeshifter."
He didn't know what type of supernatural power Nightingale possessed, anyway, it definitely wasn't just the most basic and common type of attack that condensed supernatural energy that was displayed in front of everyone.
"She's not, but maybe inside Asuka."
The killer said, "No matter what the truth is, at least one thing I can be sure of. She wanted to catch me and kill me."
Xie Chu glanced at him and saw that his face was full of eagerness and bloodthirsty excitement. He originally wanted to explain that since Jiao was dead, there was no need to provoke Asuka.
But he knew very well that although they were in an employment relationship, it was impossible for the killer to obey him.
What's more, Mingjiao is dead or not, which makes him doubtful. The life of this person is very important to him.
"No matter what you want to do, I have only one request for you. Make Mingjiao completely disappear from the world. Whether it's true or not, she can only be a dead person."
The killer nodded, no matter what the target is still 'alive', even if the task is not completed, based on his professionalism, he will continue to carry out the commission.
He disappeared into the black mist just like when he came, and with his departure, the lake became even quieter.
Xie Chu looked at the rippling surface of the lake blown by the wind, as if his heart was not calm at this time.
Whether Mingjiao is dead or alive may not be credible just by listening to the killer's one-sided words. Who knows if he bumped into Nightingale before killing Mingjiao in time.
Or there are other accidents, make up some outrageous excuses, add mystery to the incident, and hide your mistakes.
He decided to send another group of men to keep an eye on Mingjiao, but they can't kill her, otherwise, if something happens in the future and the Ming family follows the vine, it will be troublesome.
Although the current Ming family may not care much about her life and death, that aunt of the Ming family has always loved her, and today she brought her to the banquet, which shows that she has not given up on her.
There is also the supernatural being who shot and killed the monsters outside the territory today, and the person who hid with him and didn't make a move. I don't know who they are?
It's a pity that the monitoring in the villa will definitely be affected during that time period, and nothing can be recorded, and his rash call will attract the attention of interested people, so he can only give up temporarily if he thinks about it.
Or concentrate on taking care of Mingjiao's affairs.
Xie Chu looked up at the galaxy in the night, only seeing endless blackness.
She is a withered flower destined to fall into the mud, she will be stained if she reaches out to protect herself, and she will be criticized if she lets go.
So I can only ask her to disappear on her own initiative.
·
The long night is finally over.
Mingjiao yawned lazily and walked out of the room. She came back from the banquet last night to discuss Xie Chu's matter with Tang Xiaoyu. The discussion went very late. Although she was a little tired, she couldn't sleep when she really went back to the room to rest. She kept thinking about how to investigate him. , from which direction to investigate.
She didn't feel sleepy until the middle of the night, which caused her to not sleep well.
But not sleeping well is not all a bad thing, at least she has made a plan.
Mingjiao's eyes flashed a calmness and composure that had already made up her mind.
The house was quiet. She looked at the sky through the window, and guessed that Tang Xiaoyu hadn't gotten up yet. Although the other party always got up earlier than her, it was still too early.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard some noises from the bathroom, and soon Tang Xiaoyu came out fully dressed.
Probably because the weather is getting hotter and hotter, she seldom wears cloaks recently, and her clothes are getting simpler and simpler.
Like she is wearing an apricot-colored dress now. The pure-colored dress has neither embroidery nor other complicated designs. The only decoration is the thin belt around the waist, which looks simple and generous.
Probably because she had just washed her hair, her seaweed-like long hair was still a little damp, but it was also more black and smooth.
Seeing Mingjiao, Tang Xiaoyu's jade-like eyes flashed with surprise, "It's so early."
Mingjiao scratched her hair casually, "No matter how you look at it, it's more appropriate for me to say it."
Finally, he answered Tang Xiaoyu's question just now, "When I wake up, I won't be able to fall back asleep."
Tang Xiaoyu subconsciously pushed Xiuting's glasses on the bridge of her nose, making sure she hadn't forgotten to wear them, and her slightly turbulent heart regained her composure, "Since you wake up, don't go to sleep, I'll make breakfast."
She knew that Mingjiao had a habit of staying up in bed, she usually didn't get up early when she woke up, and she could lie down even when she got up.
Mingjiao walked around her because she wanted to wash up, but she paused when she heard that, "Don't do it, it's rare that I get up so early, let's go out to eat."
Tang Xiaoyu's thin lips hooked slightly, "You know it's rare."
Mingjiao was so dazed by her smile, her thoughts wandered again as she smelled the faint fragrance of the shampoo.
Obviously it was a smell she used and was used to, but when Tang Xiaoyu used it, she felt it was very different, especially with the breeze blowing in from the window, it seemed to be mixed with the freshness and coolness of the morning vegetation, which was inexplicably attractive.
It also gave her a desire to reach out and touch that beautiful long hair, she pretended to be innocent and coughed, "Anyway, I'm too embarrassed to make you so tired."
Looking back on the past few days, Tang Xiaoyu didn't see that she was embarrassed at all. On the contrary, she was very calm.
His eyes flicked on her, and when he was about to say something, his eyes turned white, and he immediately looked away.
Although this white cotton suspender nightdress is also very beautiful on Mingjiao, pure and lustful.
But she always felt that the skirt was too loose.
The creamy and graceful neck and shoulder lines would inadvertently break into her vision, occupying her thoughts uninvited when she was emptying her mind.
Seeing Tang Xiaoyu look away, Mingjiao couldn't help but curl her lips. In fact, it wasn't the first time she noticed Tang Xiaoyu's well-hidden discomfort, and she was almost dodging shyly.
Some cute.
She couldn't suppress her bad intentions, "They're all girls, so what's there to be embarrassed about?"
She deliberately turned around in front of Tang Xiaoyu, smiled and leaned close to her shoulder, "Besides, didn't you see everything the night you saved me? If this was in ancient times, you would be responsible for me."
Tang Xiaoyu also felt itchy.
Mingjiao's hair is different from hers, it is the standard black and long straight, but it is so soft that it makes her feel itchy when it falls on her shoulders, and it makes her feel upset.
But in the face of this kind of teasing, she felt a sense of winning in her heart, which was very childish and uncontrollable.
She turned her head and looked up, only staring at Mingjiao's face, "Really?"
Mingjiao and Tang Xiaoyu looked at each other through the cold and transparent lens for a moment, real and fake but equally beautiful faces exchanged back and forth in her mind, a faint sense of loss for unknown reasons suddenly lingered.
She quickly recovered, "Just kidding."
·
In the bathroom, Mingjiao casually tied her long hair into a ponytail, lowered her head and began to wash her face with cold water.
The system didn't know why she was talking and laughing with Tang Xiaoyu, so she suddenly became depressed, and asked, [Host, what's wrong with you? 】
[Nothing, just thinking about the current situation, I still feel troublesome after all. 】
The system does not suspect him.
Mingjiao lowered her head and picked up another handful of water, hitting her face with it, also wanting to wash away the feeling of sadness in her heart.
She was very satisfied with getting along with Nightingale now, even if she and Nightingale were not friends.
But the short-term fate is also very beautiful, without any past grievances.
But Nightingale is a part of Tang Xiaoyu after all, and she seems to be no longer satisfied with this part, and wants more.
It is human nature to be greedy.
The corner of her mouth curled up to mock herself, but she quickly suppressed it, and when she raised her head again, her expression and mood returned to calm.
It's just that when he saw the apricot skirt out of the corner of his eye, he subconsciously froze.
She turned her head slowly, and saw Tang Xiaoyu standing at the door, staring at her unblinkingly with black jade-like eyes, "All the bandages on your body have been removed."
